J Clin Sleep Med 10: 1101-1109. Moore RA, Philip JW, Sheena D, Andrew SC (2014) Gabapentin for chronic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia in adults. Cochrane Database Syst Rev: CD007938. Marvisi M, Balzarini L, Mancini C, Ramponi S, Marvisi C (2015) Fibromyalgia is frequent in obstructive sleep apnea and responds to CPAP therapy. Pain scores decreased significantly in patients both after 6 weeks of treatment (P < 0.001) and in trials less than 6 weeks (P = 0.017) when compared with placebo. Our data demonstrate that GBs have a positive impact on sleep health, quality of life, and pain in patients with NP syndromes. This study is the first to systematically assess the clinical value of gabapentin for the treatment of sleep disorders. We found that regardless the type of sleep outcomes, gabapentin displayed stable treatment efficacy for sleep disturbance in patients with medical illness. sleep apnea and central sleep apnea (CSA). Opioid use and comedications: There is an evident opioid crisis, which is primarily fueled by the illicit use of opioids.2 However, the misuse of opioids by patients with pain who are prescribed long-term opioid therapy may also potentially lead to fatal consequences. In 2016, the US Centers for Similarly, Gabapentin vs Doxepin for Sleep: Comparing Effectiveness and Side Effects and Gabapentin vs Seroquel for Sleep: Comparing Effectiveness and Side Effects offer insights into how gabapentin stacks up against other classes of sleep medications. These comparisons can help patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterized by repeated episodes of apnoea and hypopnoea during sleep. Little is known about the potential impact of therapy drugs on the underlying respiratory disorder. Any influence should be taken into account and appropriate action taken, including drug withdrawal if necessary. One trial showed that using pregabalin alone and using it with an opioid pain reliever can depress breathing function. 7,8 The other trial showed gabapentin alone increased pauses in breathing Medication-induced central sleep apnea (CSA) is one of the eight categories of causes of CSA but in the absence of awareness and careful history may be misclassified as primary CSA. While opioids are a well-known cause of respiratory depression and CSA, non-opioid medications including sodium oxybat We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over pilot study using a bedtime dose of gabapentin 300 mg was conducted in eight non-obese older men. Polysomnography measured the effects of the intervention. The main adverse effects reported with gabapentinoids are sleepiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Due to the structural similarity between gabapentin and baclofen (a centrally acting GABA-B agonist), gabapentin was reported to produce “baclofen-like” effects [1] (Figure 1A). Impact not well established; may not significantly affect sleep apnea but sedative effects require caution. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) Drowsiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, confusion (especially in older adults). May worsen sleep apnea due to muscle relaxation effects causing increased airway obstruction. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over pilot study using a bedtime dose of gabapentin 300 mg was conducted in eight non-obese older men. Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a potentially serious and under-recognized adverse reaction of opioids, baclofen, valproic acid, sodium oxybate, gabapentin, and ticagrelor. CSA may be associated with impaired sleep quality, insomnia, nonrestorative sleep, impaired quality of life, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and increased morbidity and mortality While some studies have shown continued effectiveness of gabapentin for sleep over extended periods, more research is needed to fully understand its long-term impact on sleep architecture and overall health. Common side effects when using gabapentin as a sleep aid can include dizziness, drowsiness, and fatigue. Gabapentin: Understanding the Side Effects and Risks Are you struggling with sleep apnea and wondering if gabapentin could be the cause? You’re not alone. Many people have reported experiencing sleep apnea while taking gabapentin, a medication commonly prescribed for various conditions including seizures, nerve pain, and mood disorders. We hypothesized that gabapentinoids might be associated with sleep apnea syndrome. A recent pilot study reported a higher apnea–hypopnea index with gabapentin, supporting our hypothesis [5]. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over pilot study using a bedtime dose of gabapentin 300 mg was conducted in eight non-obese older men. Hypoxemia in patients on chronic opiate therapy with and without sleep apnea. AU Mogri M, Desai H, Webster L, Grant BJ, Mador MJ SO Sleep Breath. 2009;13(1):49. Epub 2008 Aug 6. OBJECTIVE Animal models have shown a quantal slowing of respiratory pattern when exposed to opioid agonist, in a pattern similar to that observed in central sleep apnea When considering adjunct medications for sleep in gabapentin users with sleep apnea, healthcare providers must carefully evaluate potential interactions and cumulative effects on respiratory function. in breathing during sleep. The three observational studies at one academic medical center professionals to report side effects involving gabapentin, pregabalin, or other medicines
